City Arts & Lectures has landed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman for a special program Jan. 19 at Davies Symphony Hall.

Tickets are on sale at City Box Office for the event, which will include an evening of film clips and an interview with the actor, who recently starred in the film "Capote."

Roy Eisenhardt, who prepared the film clips for City Arts' recent Jerry Lewis program, will also prepare the clips for the Hoffman program and conduct the onstage interview with him. The event will benefit Hoffman's LAByrinth Theater Company, a 14-year-old multicultural collective based at New York's Public Theater.

Tickets are $25 at City Box office, (415) 392-4400. One hundred higher-priced tickets will go on sale later and will include dinner with the actor.
